New Volunteers

We are currently recruiting volunteers for Off-Site, Emergency Pet Shelter and Foster Care positions. Please see a brief description of each role below and how you can participate.

Off-Site Cat Adoption Volunteers

Our organization has partnered with several off-site locations that help support our mission by housing many of our cats for adoption (e.g. Petco, Hawaii Cat Café, and more).

Our Off-site Cat Adoptions Volunteers commit to at least 1 hour a week where they visit specifically assigned locations to socialize with the cats, clean the kennels, replenish food and water and provide enrichment for these sweet felines.

Independent volunteers must be age 18 or older.

Youth volunteers (8 – 17) are welcome with the accompaniment of an adult age 18 or older.

Hurricane season in Hawaii is upon us. The Hawaiian Humane Society is the designated first responder in protecting Oahu’s pets in the case of natural disasters.

Emergency Pet Sheltering (EPS) is a program we have in place to respond to emergencies and disasters islandwide as it pertains to animals. Through this program, we set up temporary pet shelters adjacent to human emergency shelters across the island to house the pets of individuals in our community, with our goal of keeping pets and their people together.

Volunteers in this role would be responsible for supervising these pet shelters with Hawaiian Humane support.

This role is an on-call position and only deployed in the case of a natural disaster.

Your help as a temporary foster parent brings pets from our shelter into your home and prepares them for adoption.

As a foster care volunteer, your help also greatly reduces stress for the animals by minimizing their time in a shelter environment and eases the burden on our animal care staff, who are considered first responders.
